As the days passed, the chaos in the wilderness did not stop at all, but intensified.

For a large tribe to go south, it is like putting a 20 kg dog fat carp in a half acre pond. The ecological relationship of the whole fish pond needs a big reshuffle.

Chaos and turbulence will be the theme here until a stable relationship is re established.

The breeze passing slowly from Gaoshan Castle also seems to have a sense of fear.

There are more and more wandering robbers in groups. Sometimes they even gather to try to attack Gaoshan castle. Of course, this attempt was nothing more than beating stone with an egg and being defeated by the soldiers cutting grass, but the tension of the situation has become an tacit consensus of everyone.

Richard personally cut open the stomach bag of a war dead robber, which was no longer filled with grass seeds and bark, but raw meat and several uncut fingers.

The discovery made everyone present feel creepy.

"See their red eyes? Cannibalism will lead to red eye madness. In fact, it is hard to escape death." Richard said, washed his fingertips with water and gave a command to the soldiers present.

The more volatile the situation is, the more it is necessary to maintain internal stability.

There were even vicious incidents in which herdsmen who went out for grazing were robbed and killed and livestock were washed away, which once caused a large-scale panic among the neighbors. Compared with peacetime, Richard was particularly silent that day. He set out with the Centaur when the sun was down and didn\'t come back until noon the next day.

They were covered with blood, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their fatigue was obvious, but each of them carried several jackal heads that didn\'t close their eyes to death.

These heads were inserted into the sharp wooden stakes around to warn the bandits. Their eyes still kept the last-minute fear until they were pecked or dried by crows.

The leaders did not comment on this, but silently contracted the living area and began to spontaneously organize outposts or help Centaur blacksmiths forge ordnance.

In fact, they were afraid that the LORD would choose to withdraw from Colleen temporarily, because they were all born in the wilderness and could not be accepted by Pompeii Empire even temporarily. And once left behind... They simply don\'t have the courage to imagine that result.

In fact, the leaders didn\'t know that Richard received a letter from the noble court a few days ago.

The load that the letter Falcon can carry on a long-distance flight is very limited, so the length of the letter is valuable. How to convey as much information as possible in the limited space is even a knowledge worthy of special study by the clerks.

The group of losers in the noble garden are still unreliable as always. They use the whole three lines to write honorifics and formats, and the content of the text is only two lines.

In general, it is a risk warning to the development lords stationed abroad, calling on them to return to Pompeii as soon as possible.

After eating some shredded meat, xinfalcon flew into the sky again, and the wooden barrel on his feet was empty. Gaoshan castle is still Gaoshan castle. It patrols and trains herding and fishing every day. There is no shaking because of this episode.

For a development Lord, once he returned to Pompeii to avoid disaster, it meant that the development failed, which Richard could not accept anyway.

The advantage of converting a wooden building into an underground nest is revealed at this time. The exposed part of the ground is very low. In addition, it is covered by a tall grass nest. From a distance, it is just an ordinary barren mountain.

In this season of grass and trees, Richard never expected to see Anne.

"Why are you here?" Annie looked valiant in a leather hunting suit, riding a tall horse, with her hair wrapped in a linen scarf and a fine thorn sword at her waist.

Behind her was a contingent of mercenaries of more than 100 people, with complete steps, horses and bows, neat queues and solemn spirit. It was almost a small army.

"Why am I here? I should ask you. Gaoshan castle is my territory." Richard was bored to death.

"We passed by to have a rest. Unexpectedly, you haven\'t returned to Colleen and the noble court hasn\'t informed you?" Annie stopped the big army behind her and drove the war horse slowly to Richard.

"I\'ve been informed, but I don\'t want to." Richard waved his hand, "it\'s not necessary at all, just because those bandits dare to come is to send their heads."

His voice was so loud that the mercenaries couldn\'t help laughing. But the soldiers and leaders of Gaoshan Castle did not. They looked at the mercenaries as if they were pitying the mentally retarded.

"Lord Richard, you may be the last pioneering aristocrat in the whole northeast province who is still sticking to the territory." Annie\'s face was very dark, and she couldn\'t help bending her mouth after hearing the arrogant words, "I was thinking, are you really so brave, or the information channel is too blocked."

She then extended a small hand to Richard, and the LORD raised his hand to hold her and helped her down from the horse.

"Do you know what happened recently?" Annie asked.

"It was said that a bear people\'s tribe went south," Richard himself said with some hesitation.

He heard the news from the mercenaries of VOYA firm. Annie must have known it long ago. But as far as Richard knew, there were at least a dozen development leaders in the northeast province. If it was just a tribal threat, it should not be enough to make them all withdraw like street mice.

"No one knows the whole story better than me. I dare say you know nothing about the truth." Annie sighed. The blind can see that she was very sad.

"I\'d like to hear it in detail." Richard immediately climbed down the pole.

Businesses often have a wide range of friends. In terms of intelligence acquisition ability, ordinary little nobles can\'t catch up with them.

"It used to involve the top secret of our firm, but now there\'s nothing left. It\'s nothing to talk about."

Annie and Richard went into the Lord\'s hall and sat at the table. Richard waved Gunther and hurt to go out first and bring them to the door. Annie had only one female swordsman to follow.

Outdated secrets are also secrets. If one less person knows, one less person knows.

"The building you designed is really practical." Annie looked up at the log roof. "It\'s cool and easy to hide. My scouts were cheated, but in fact, they can be improved in appearance."

Before she left last time, Richard said that he would use a brand-new building with exclusive design and named it "underground nest", which was full of hype. At that time, Annie believed in the fairy motto "the more showy, the less" and didn\'t take it seriously. She never thought that she was the first to experience the effect.

"Get down to business." Richard impatiently lifted the teapot and added a glass of water to her.

Elves are recognized as people who like to talk about architecture and art. Anne is obviously deeply influenced by elves\' blood in this regard. The Lord has experienced it for a long time.
